53. Agree. I was glad when I heard he was considering running

and hope he does well. A governor's ultra-valuable experience coupled with long experience and commitment to climate, environment, energy, ag, and water issues. At very least, we NEED him on the debate stage and he will hopefully become nationally known as a leader on these issues.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Highlight:

It looks like 1% of the forum switched to Inslee. Can you tell us why? nt [View all] LAS14 Mar 2019 OP

I don't know who Inslee is, but this is a positive thread for the Democratic Primaries McCamy Taylor Mar 2019 #1

I think he has a lot of potential. Gov. of Wash. state. n/t RKP5637 Mar 2019 #2

Agree. I was glad when I heard he was considering running Hortensis Mar 2019 #53

He popped up at 3% immediately after he was interviewed by Rachel. LAS14 Mar 2019 #4

Do you have a link to it. I looked on YOUtube and couldn't find it. patricia92243 Mar 2019 #19

Sorry, no. It was maybe a couple of weeks ago. nt LAS14 Mar 2019 #29

Here he is on Maddow's show KewlKat Mar 2019 #50

Inslee is the governor of Washington and running on climate change. marylandblue Mar 2019 #6

Since we have no idea what the totals are, for all we know that 1% change may represent as few hlthe2b Mar 2019 #5

There are more than 100 people posting in the Primaries forum. TwilightZone Mar 2019 #9

Even if it is 300 people, that doesn't change the point. Percentages alone are meaningless hlthe2b Mar 2019 #12

No, they aren't. TwilightZone Mar 2019 #16

Look.. Plesase think about it. A 1% change can reflect as few as ONE DUers changing preference hlthe2b Mar 2019 #20

Ok, I get it, but that's highly unlikely. TwilightZone Mar 2019 #30

You can't ignore rounding, that's just it. SFnomad Mar 2019 #15

I was ignoring rounding in the context of the other poster's example. TwilightZone Mar 2019 #17

Your comment was ... For the 1% to be one person, the total would have to be 100 SFnomad Mar 2019 #18

It is a CHANGE in 1%. And if you think there are 10,000 expressing preference.... hlthe2b Mar 2019 #21

And as I've tried to explain, that "change" in 1% can be as few as 1 person SFnomad Mar 2019 #23

It is ME who is stating simple percentages don't mean anything sans totals. You seem confused. hlthe2b Mar 2019 #24

I didn't notice that the person replying to me changed SFnomad Mar 2019 #26

The point is that mere percentage mean nothing. Surely if you have had any training in statistics hlthe2b Mar 2019 #27

This has nothing to do with statistics and if you knew anything about math, you'd understand that n/ SFnomad Mar 2019 #28

Hah! Well I guess that proves it... hlthe2b Mar 2019 #34

I haven't "proved" anything ... just explained it. SFnomad Mar 2019 #35

Mea culpa - I misread TwilightZone Mar 2019 #31

I saw your post (before you deleted it) and realized that's where you were going wrong SFnomad Mar 2019 #32

Will be interesting to watch changes during 'missteps ' California_Republic Mar 2019 #22

Climate change. It's not 50 years away, it's here. Now. nt Autumn Mar 2019 #7

Climate change. shanny Mar 2019 #8

Absolutely! If we don't get that under control, nothing else will matter much IMO. n/t RKP5637 Mar 2019 #10

Precisely. shanny Mar 2019 #13

Climate Change, climate change, climate change elfin Mar 2019 #11

Much to like, and then some. oasis Mar 2019 #43

didn't he also KT2000 Mar 2019 #52

and may I add "Strongly pro-choice" to the list? CTyankee Mar 2019 #56

I like the way he acts, I like his looks which seem to show confidence and an in charge person katmondoo Mar 2019 #14

I am impressed by him. Liked his hopeful and practical platform MaryMagdaline Mar 2019 #33

It's probably because of rounding customerserviceguy Mar 2019 #36

In short: happybird Mar 2019 #37

I didn't switch, but climate change is my top issue, so I 100% get it. NT Bleacher Creature Mar 2019 #38

Jay is my Governor MFM008 Mar 2019 #39

I think he can win Freddie Mar 2019 #40

He strikes me as "every man's man." May sound naive but he's no drama, just do the right thing. So monmouth4 Mar 2019 #41

Agree!!! n/t RKP5637 Mar 2019 #55

I want to support Inslee but I don't know if I can. StevieM Mar 2019 #42

Can you tell us more details? nt LAS14 Mar 2019 #45

Here is an article about the bill. StevieM Mar 2019 #48

Thanks. Those are helpful links. LAS14 Mar 2019 #49

Swing voters would be impressed with a guy like that Awsi Dooger Mar 2019 #44

I was impressed by him when he was on Rachel's show. He seems to be running Vinca Mar 2019 #46

I think having a signature issue gives him an advantage. marylandblue Mar 2019 #47

He is running on more than one issue. Blue_true Mar 2019 #54

I followed him closely when I lived in Seattle The Blue Flower Mar 2019 #51
